There seems to be a sneaky bug making its way through the Wild family. Last week, Cora ended up with Strep throat and a double-ear infection.
Next, Flower started running a low-grade fever today and complaining of a sore throat.
Yesterday Moe had a scary experience – he blacked out! I know that whether a person “sees” black or white before passing out can have something to do with high or low blood pressure. He saw black all around until he could only see a center point of light before he blacked out. Freaked me out.
Of course I had him at the pediatrician first thing this morning. The doc listened to his heart – my first concern of course! – and ordered blood and urine tests. I’m waiting for the results and an appointment with a cardiologist and possibly a neurologist as this could have something to do with balance and equilibrium (???) or something. I wasn’t at my usual “doctor best”. I’ve learned to show up at doctor’s appointments armed with questions, a notebook with pockets and a pen. But, I just wasn’t prepared this time around with Moe; I was too busy fighting tears and panic. He’s my healthy boy and this is kinda freaking me out.
Tonight, he is feeling achy – pain in his back – and he’s running a fever up to 102.4. Thankfully it came down right away with Tylenol but still, so worried!
All this is making it hard for me to write happy stuff about Cancun and trumpets and weddings. I’m feeling run down and I hope its not because I’m catching something. Work is insane – another audited inventory and on a new computer system no less. WildDad is working insane hours as well, sometimes until 9pm. Bear with me - I will definitely update as soon as I know anything! In the meantime, please remember my babies in your prayers.
[...] here is the end result of Moe’s black-out episode. I should add, because I didn’t last time, that he blacked out while on a roller coaster ride and actually spent upwards of a minute [...]
